Smoked Holiday Hams

Reserve yours today

Sweet, savory, and glazed to perfection with our mustard molasses glaze, this bone-in half ham is what holiday dinners were made for.  Each one averages about 8 pounds, big enough to feed the family and still have leftovers for a midnight sandwich.

Available to reserve for pick up between December 14th–24th.

We only make a limited number each year, so once they’re gone, they’re gone. Reserve yours today by giving us a call.

Smoked turkey

We’ll soon be serving up smoked turkey breast every day—here ‘til Thanksgiving only. Get it by the pound, as a meal, or in our new sandwich piled with provolone, onions, and garlic herb aioli. Limited time, big flavor.

Coming September 9th

The bbq was excellent, and the service was warm and welcoming... I am confident that this one is among the best.

The combo had me happier than a pig in you-know-what. Nearby my partner-in-crime gnawed on his pork ribs and, between bites, exclaimed how juicy and succulent they were. I had to rip a rib out of his hands to try a bite before they were gone.

The best smokehouse in Salinas, no question!

Really the best for our wedding. Easy buffet style. Minimal cost and great quality food. Plus my now husband really wanted to see me eat some ribs in my wedding dress. Haha. Even as the bride I went back for seconds.
